The application arrived without a usable plan. Mark it up instead of writing the RFI.

Open the lot, check the plan against the cadastre, mark what is missing, and send the applicant a link so their drafter can put it right.

What it costs

What this gives an assessor

The job here is checking a claim, not producing a design.

6 things

The real cadastral lot and existing buildingsSo you are assessing against the record rather than against what was submitted.
Setbacks and coverage recalculatedFrom the drawing, not taken on trust from the applicant figures.
Overlays and easements for that lotLoaded and ready to check against whatever the application claimed.
A markup layerFor the notes that would otherwise become a request for information.
Wind classification with all four inputsRegion, terrain, shielding and topography shown, so an indicative class can be accepted or challenged on its merits.
Per client historyEvery property, every version, under your organisation, so the trail is there when it is queried.

What this changes in an assessment

The gain is turnaround, and turnaround is almost entirely the RFI loop.

The RFI loopAn incomplete or unscaled site plan is the most common reason a small application stalls. Drawing the missing sheet takes minutes; the RFI round trip takes weeks.

Checking the claimSetbacks and coverage recalculated from the cadastre, so a figure copied from an old drawing shows up immediately.

A version trailEvery version stays on file under the client, so what changed between submissions is visible rather than remembered.

Indicative wind, with the inputsEvery input is printed, so you can see which factor is marginal.

Handing it backA view only link the applicant opens without an account, so the marked drawing goes back the same day.

Nothing here is a certification, and nothing replaces your professional judgement. The drawing is a tool for checking and correcting an application; the assessment decision remains entirely yours.

Mark the drawing rather than describe what is wrong with it

Writing a request for information about a missing setback takes about as long as marking it on the lot. Mark up what is missing and send the applicant a link they open without an account, so the corrected plan comes back the same day.
